Any Lahaina, Maui experts out there? Near or on Kaanapali Beach? I need to find a nice house to rent with 3 bedrooms for the thursday before thanksgiving through thanksgiving. Has anybody tried ABandB? Anybody know of a hotel for about 150 a night max that isn't a dump?

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 01:10 AM) The Cards could simply trade him in the offseason. The Cards could, for example, trade him back to the Sox in the offseason. Hopefully the Sox would pass on that offer. Please get rid of LaRoche, White Sox management.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 12:51 AM) Yeah, maybe he should have told his agent that, because thats not how it went down at all. In fact the Sox could have lowballed him and put that in the press to make him look bad, but they didnt. How do you know? Mark B just said how it went down. He never received an offer in midseason ... no offer! He would have stayed. QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 01:33 AM) After the season the Sox have had so far isn't there enough to b**** about already? What's the point of whining about something that went down 4 years ago? Here's the severely back loaded contract Buehrle signed. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...shtml#contracts I'm glad the Sox did not try to match that. Another thing is why, after 4 years, is Buehrle bringing this up now? The Sox didn't have to match that. They could have signed him for much less he says. Buehrle is bringing this up now cause the Trib reprinted a fact that was wrong. He cleared it up. The Trib wrote he had no interest in a Sox offer of 10 mill a year; he pointed out, 'hey there was no f***ing offer.' QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 01:36 AM) The White Sox moved on. We all should too. I'm reacting to the latest news on this issue which came out this week. QUOTE (ron883 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 02:12 AM) I don't buy it. Buehrle knew the kind of money he could get, and he went for it. Buehrle doesn't sign for that big of a discount. Just no way. The discount never would have been considered a discount. He wanted to stay in Chicago. I don't know why Mark is the one member of the Sox title team everybody disses. Everybody understood getting rid of him. Maybe it's cause he doesn't throw 100 mph. No, all he does is pitch mega innings every single year and should have been in Chicago the past couple years. For the Sox to not try to sign him during that season is really really bad. For people to not believe Mark would have taken 10 mill a year is insensitive to one of the Sox all time greats. I hope they sign him 10 mill a year for three years when he's free agent next time.

I love comedies that make me laugh. I went to see Spy and I agree with Roeper who gave it a B. I love reading reviews after I see movies. They give away too much stuff in previews and reviews so I try not to watch 'em beforehand. Like at the movie they showed the preview of an upcoming movie with Streep. I swear I know the exact movie and I know how it ends from watching a damn 2 minute preview. Why do they do that? It was a little too long that's why it gets a B instead of A. But some funny one liners and the movie was worth the 8 bucks it costs in Kansas. Get this. Movies here, today 8 bucks to get in. I bought a regular bottle of aquafina and a small popcorn for 11.50 lol. Prices are hilarious but I don't go to a lot of movies and I might as well support the industry. I'd hate if movies went away. The one chick in Spy is pretty hot. She's 35 and hot. She was in Bridesmaids. Incredible body.

Shark is on fire. If you trade him now you get SO MUCH in return if you have a competent front office. The guy is worth his weight in gold IMO.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) If Mark was really willing to take 3/$30, then add that to the list of recent awful decisions made by the Sox front office. I thought Mark was looking for the big payday, so the Sox didn't offer it knowing they would get overbid by other teams. I love how Mark set the record straight telling the Trib writer that, uh, the Sox never made a midseason offer and he'd have taken a 3 year extension in a heartbeat. KW should be fired NOW for this blunder. QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) It was time for Buerhls to move on when he did. That's the cliche I've been hearing. Why is this considered fact? Why was it time for him to move on? The guy has been awesome since leaving. He's earned his money. So many Sox have been busts and wasted money.

Very very sad and disappointing. Out of Buehrle's own mouth he WOULD HAVE taken the midseason extension offer. So sad the White Sox let one of their all-time greats go without a midseason offer. He'd have been SO worth the money! And it would have been bargain prices. Typical White Sox. Acquire stiffs like Dunn and LaRoche and Melky and not pay a Mark Buehrle.

Great win. Eaton deserves credit. Walk off home runs are pretty impressive. He's starting to get good again. Avi 4 hits is pretty damn nice. Lexi with the glove. The bullpen shut me up and did the job. Sox have been playing better of late. True, the losses have been maddening, but they've won a lot of gams of late.

Did you guys see the reports that the University of Illinois football coach and women's basketball program allegedly abused players physically and mentally? I'm surprised we don't hear more of this stuff especially with parents of spoiled athletes getting upset when their kids flop in college. I will say I have mixed emotions. Some of these college coaches really do coach by intimidation. What gives them the right to call out kids for the neighborhoods they grew up in? Also I do believe a lot of college kids are mocked/pressured by their coaches to play when injured. There's way too much offseason conditioning and playing football and basketball in the offseasons. Way too much. In the pros ... it's too late for a coach to be an asshole to the players for the most part. I guess in NFL there still could be some pressure to play while injured. But again, some of these college coaches are little dictators and I say if they abuse kids they deserve to lose these lawsuits and get shown the door. Of course, a coach's only defense in college is winning. If you win, the fans will back you 100 percent and claim the players are big babies. If you lose though, look out ...

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 04:08 AM) Damn it I missed it. My MLB.com froze up and I missed it too. Weird. It had been working well. I need highlights on mlb.com bad.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 04:00 AM) All you guys dissin' Alexei should give him some credit on making that play. Yep. I praise Lexi for that snag. Great play. Sox are winning a lot of games lately. Survived a bad start tonight and still won. Makes up for the loss with Q throwing the gem. Would be nice to win 20 of 25 and get back into the WC race. GO SOX.

Putnam gets another win. Eaton with the bomb. Home runs are nice.

I wonder what doomed Beckham? He was supposed to be a can't miss star hitter. I guess he has a slow bat.

Soto almost won it there. Well this is it. If we don't win, Putnam gives up 2-3 runs and Toronto wraps it up.

Beckham is officially done. He got traded and experienced a new organization, came back and is worse than ever. He's toast.

That Avi play was like my old softball team. There was always one dumbass who ran himself into an out every time.

That was so stupid of Avi. Absolutely NO reason to think you'll make it there.

Avi out by a mile; he's just embarrassed.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 03:25 AM) Heh. Remember when some of us thought Gordon had turned it around in May? I'll admit. I was fooled.

I'd walk Abreu if I were Toronto against all baseball logic.

Beckham, Flowers and Sanchez coming up. Only hope for a run is the rare occasion Beckham or Flowers deposits a cookie into the stands.

This game is winnable. Now you are going to see how average to lousy our bullpen really is.

LOL at Becks. Horrid at bat. He's so bad.

Nice rally going. We could use a home run. Have we had many of late? I remember Eaton hit 2 leading off consecutive games and that's it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 02:16 AM) Scott Carroll is awesome Has he earned his big league pension for life yet? Hope so. People in Liberty say he's the best guy, best human being.
